哥林多后书 3:6 祂叫我们能承当这新约的执事，不是凭着字句，乃是凭着精意，因为那字句是叫⼈死，精意是叫⼈活。(精意或作圣灵) (现代标点和合本)
2Corinthians 3:6 who also made us sufficient as ministers of the new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. (NKJV)

“…新约的执事”——这节经⽂证明了有 旧约和新约。这新约不是凭着字句 (即写在⽯版上的律法)，乃是凭着精意 (圣灵)；因为字句 (律法) 是叫⼈死，精意 (圣灵) 是叫⼈活。我们不靠 ⾃⼰的努⼒，⽽是靠圣灵。教会传给你 们的道是藉着叫⼈活的圣灵；⾁体是⽆益处的。因此，我们不依靠⽆益的⾁体，⽽是依靠神的灵，它赐予我们恩 惠、智慧和恩膏，这都是从上头⽽来。 ⾝为⽗⺟，我们规划孩⼦的未来，但在⼀切事上，我们需要依靠圣灵来引导我 们。弟兄姐妹，你在⽣活中依靠谁或什么呢？主耶稣在约翰福⾳ 6:63 中说，祂对你们所说的话就是灵，就是⽣命。因此，在我们的⽇常⽣活中，如果我们依靠圣经中基督的话，就意味着依靠圣灵。阿们！

“…ministers of the new covenant” - here in this verse is the proof that there is an old covenant and a new covenant. This new covenant is not of the letter (which means the law written on stone) but of the Spirit; for the law kills but the Spirit gives life. We do not depend on our own efforts but we depend on the Spirit. The word preached to you by the church is through the Spirit and the Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. Therefore, we do not want to depend on the flesh which counts for nothing, but we want to depend on the Spirit of God which gives favor, wisdom and anointing which comes from above. As parents, we plan for our children’s future but in our planning for their success, we need to depend on the Spirit to lead and guide us. Brothers and sisters, who or what are you depending on in life? Jesus said in John 6:63 that the words which He had spoken to you are full of spirit and they are life. Therefore, in our daily walk, if we depend on the word of Christ in the bible, it translates to a dependence on the Spirit. Amen!

罗⻢书 8:26 况且，圣灵也照样扶助我们的软弱。事 实上，我们不知道该祷告什么，如何祷告，但圣灵却亲⾃⽤说不出的叹息，为我们代求。(中⽂标准译本)
Romans 8:26 Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. (NKJV)

有时候，当我们⾯临难以承受的困境时， 我们不知道该祷告什么，⼜如何祷告。这让我们觉得我们祷告不够充分，并且怀疑神是否会回应祷告。当我们不知道如何祷告时，圣灵却亲⾃为我们代求。这意味着圣灵亲⾃⽤说不出的叹息为我们祷告；就是说⽅⾔。当你说⽅⾔时，参透万事的圣灵就为你祷告。即便是将来的事，圣灵也亲⾃为你代求。盗贼来是要偷窃杀害你的⽣命，但当你⽤⽅⾔祷告时，圣灵把这⼀切阻拦了，这样你就不会受到伤害。圣灵说你是神的⼉⼥，并引⽤诗篇 91 篇——祸 患必不临到你，圣灵会为你排除⼀切的障碍。阿们！

Sometimes when the challenges we face seem overwhelming, we do not know how to even begin praying about them. It makes us feel that our prayers will be inadequate and we doubt that God would answer them. We may not know how to pray but the Spirit Himself can make intercession for us. That means the Spirit will pray on our behalf, with groanings which cannot be uttered. This is speaking in tongues. When you speak in tongues, the Holy Spirit who knows all things, prays for you. The Holy Spirit can pray against the bad things that are going to happen because He knows. Perhaps the devil is trying to harm you, but when you pray in tongues, the Holy Spirit will take it away so you will not be harmed. The Holy Spirit can tell God that you are his child and quote Psalm 91 – no harm shall befall you, and that harm will be swept away before it comes to you. Amen!

约翰福⾳ 8:31-32 耶稣对信他的犹太人说：“你们若常常遵守我的道，就真是我的门徒， 你们必晓得真理，真理必叫你们得以自由。(现代标点和合本)
John 8:31-32 (NKJV) 31Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.  And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

如果你住在祂的话语⾥，主耶稣说你必晓 得真理，⽽真理必叫你得以⾃由。当惧怕来到，真理告诉你，你⼀直⽣活在谎⾔中，它就叫你⾃由了。阿们！我的朋友，你的祖⽗患了⼼脏病并不意味着你也遗传有⼼脏病。许多⼈喜欢将⾃然灾害归咎于是神的作为。例如，保险公司的规条会将地震视为神的⾏为，但地震并不是神所引发的。盗贼来是要偷窃、杀害和毁坏，但 主耶稣说祂来是要叫⼈得⽣命，并且得丰盛的⽣命。当主耶稣再次来统领世界时， 将不会有地震、洪⽔和惧怕了。伊甸园⾥有发⽣过地震吗？没有。因此，让我们不 要因恶者的作为⽽归咎于神。当你晓得真理，真理必叫你得以⾃由。有些⼈相信神是藉着疾病是来教导或训练 他们。例如，他们说神使他们得癌症是为了教导他们在⽣活中要学习忍耐。教会， 那是谎⾔。⼀位⽗亲不可能希望⾃⼰的孩⼦是⽣病的。主耶稣说，如果你看到祂， 你就看到了⽗。圣经中从未记载主耶稣使任何⼈⽣病的事迹。事实上，圣经说祂医治了所有来到祂⾯前的病患。没有⼈会触摸⿇⻛病⼈，但主耶稣触摸了那⼈，他⽴刻就得痊愈了。在婚礼上酒⽤尽了，主耶稣把⽔变成了酒，使新⼈不⾄于蒙羞。因此，不要看错了。主耶稣祂⾏善周流四⽅，祂是良善的神；祂是开路者，祂是守约的神，祂是你⿊暗中的光芒。阿们！

If you hear His word and you receive it and abide by His word, Jesus said that you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free. In times of fear, when the truth comes and tells you that you have been living in a lie, it will set you free. Amen! My friend, Just because your grandfather had heart disease does not mean that you will get it too. Many people like to credit natural disasters to God. For example, insurance policies list the earthquake as an act of God, but God did not cause the earthquakes. The devil comes to steal, kill, and destroy but Jesus said that He came to give life, and life more abundantly. Earthquakes are not acts of God. When Jesus comes back to rule the world, there will be no earthquake nor flood and no fear. Was there ever any earthquake in the garden of Eden? No. Therefore, let us not blame God for what the devil does. When you receive the truth, it will set you free. Some people believe that God gives them sicknesses to teach or train them. For example, they say that God gives them cancer to teach them perseverance in life. That is a lie. It is impossible for a father to wish sickness upon his own child. Jesus said that if you see Him, you see the Father. Not once in the bible did Jesus ever give anyone a sickness. In fact, the bible says that He healed all who came to Him. No one would ever touch the leper but Jesus touched him and he was healed instantly. When a wedding ceremony ran out of wine, Jesus turned the water into wine so that the newly-weds would not be shamed. Therefore, get it right. Jesus went around doing good. He is a good God. He is the Way-maker, He is a promise-keeper, He is the light in your darkness. Amen!

罗⻢书 3:25a 神设立耶稣做挽回祭，是凭着耶稣的血，借着人的信，要显明神的义。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 3:25a whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, (NKJV)

神设⽴主耶稣作挽回祭，靠着祂的⾎，我们得了救赎和被称为义。教会，每当你感到被定罪时，你要记得圣经说神差遣祂的爱⼦为我们流⾎，藉着祂的恩，赐给我们救赎、称义。当恶者利⽤律法来控告你时，你可以像保罗⼀样宣告，你现在不是 靠⾃⼰⽽活，不是靠你能做什么或不能做 什么⽽活，乃是因信神的⼉⼦⽽活。当恶者控告你能⾏或不能⾏的事情时，把主耶稣在⼗架的完⼯摆在他⾯前。神要你蒙福。阿们！很多时候，我们经常漠 视神的话，但祂的每⼀句话都是⽆可指摘 的，祂的话必然应验。我们所侍奉的是⼀位信实的神。祂决不说谎。祂说祂赐福 你，你就必蒙福，并且⽆需汗流浃背。祂是守约的神。阿们！

God sent Jesus as a propitiation so that by His blood we are redeemed and justified. Church, every time you feel condemned, you need to remember that the bible says God sent His Son who shed His blood for us which gave us redemption and justification and righteousness by His grace. When the accuser comes to accuse you using the law, you can declare like Paul, that the life you now live, you live not by the flesh, that is not by what you can do or cannot do, but you live by faith of the son of God, who loves you. When the devil points you to what you have or have not done, tell him to look at what Jesus has done for you. God wants you to be blessed. Amen! Often time, we take the word of God nonchalantly but every word of God is flawless and will come true. The God we serve is a real God. He cannot lie. He says that He wants you blessed and He will give you blessings without painful toil to it. God will keep His word. Amen!

⻢太福⾳ 5:17 莫想我来要废掉律法和先知，我来不是要废掉，乃是要成全。(现代标点和合本)
Matthew 5:17 Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill. (NKJV)

主耶稣说，祂来不是要废掉律法，乃是来成全律法。我们⽆法遵守⼗诫，但主耶稣 来为我们完美地成全了它们。因为主耶稣成为贫穷，我们成为富⾜。因为主耶稣受了鞭伤，所以我们都是健康的。救赎现在属于我们。因为祂如何，我们在这世上也 如何。因此，当你照镜⼦时，看到主耶稣在你⽣命⾥头，看到祂在你的⽇常⽣活中。那是⼀个完美的主耶稣，因着祂是完美的，所以你也是完美的。因此，永远不要 让律法来定罪与你。即便你有⼆⼗年没有去教会，神依然爱你。我们参与教会不是为了叫神爱我们，⽽是因为祂已经爱了我们。我们履⾏⼗⼀奉献不是为了要从神那⾥得着祝福，⽽是因为祂已经赐予我们所需的⼀切。你⼯作的动⼒，你的家庭和事 业都是神的赐福。阿们！

Jesus said that He did not come to destroy the Law but to fulfil it. We cannot fulfil all the Ten Commandments of the Law but Jesus came to fulfil them perfectly for us. Because Jesus was made poor, all of you are rich. Because Jesus was crushed, therefore all of you are healthy. The redemption is yours now. As Jesus is, so are we in this world. Therefore, when you look into the mirror, see Jesus in you, Jesus in your life. That is a perfect Jesus, and because Jesus is perfect, therefore you are also perfect. Hence, never let the law condemn you. Even if you did not attend church for twenty years, God will still love you. We attend church not so that God will love us, but because He already loves us. We give tithes not to get blessings from God but because He has already blessed us with everything that we need. Your job, your ability to go to work, your family and your businesses are all blessings from God. Amen!

罗⻢书 8:16 圣灵亲⾃与我们的灵⼀同作证：我们是神的⼉⼥。(中⽂标准译本)
Romans 8:16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, (NKJV)

倘若你说神不爱你，那圣灵就⽆法与你⼀同作证，因为祂在⼗字架上看到的是与此相反。证⼈的⼯作是什么？证⼈是把他所看⻅的陈述在众⼈前，详细描述他所亲眼⽬睹的事实。当你说你是神的⼉⼥，你⼼⾥的圣灵会说，“是的，没错，这就是真理”，因为他看⻅了。他看⻅主耶稣为你死 在⼗字架上。他看⻅当你接受主耶稣作为你的救主时，神就把他差派给你，连同⼀切的能⼒、所有的产业和健康都给你。阿 们！当圣灵亲⾃与我们同证我们是神的⼉⼥，这就是你⼼中的⼒量，它将在你的⽣命中彰显出来。当你感到害怕和绝望时，圣灵会提醒你，你的⽣命是充满盼望的。

If you say that God does not love you, the Spirit cannot bear witness to that because what He saw on the cross is contrary to it. What does a witness do? A witness is someone who recounts what he saw, detailing what he personally witnessed. When you say that you are a child of God, the Holy Spirit in you says, “Yes, that is right, that is the truth” because He saw that. He saw Jesus dying on the cross for you. He saw that when you accepted Jesus as your saviour, God put Him in you, together with all the power, all the inheritance and good health for you. Amen! When the Holy Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, it unleashes all the power which God gives you and it will manifest out in your life. When you feel fearful and hopeless, the Holy Spirit is there to remind you that there is hope.

希伯来书 4:2 因为有福⾳传给我们，像传给他们⼀ 样。只是所听⻅的道于他们⽆益，因为 他们没有信⼼与所听⻅的道调和。(现代标点和合本)
Hebrews 4:2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it. (NKJV)

你今天或许听了道，但这并不意味着这道 于你有益，除⾮你⽤信⼼与所听⻅的道调 和。许多⼈听了道，但他们却⼼存疑惑。 你是如何领受所传讲给你的道呢？是否在质疑所听到的，并怀疑神的话语和应许呢？还是如同撒拉，凭着信⼼开始踏上那地，并选择相信神，即便她当时的状况看 起是不可能怀孕的？她已经过了⽣育的年龄，但神已经修复了她的⼦宫，使她怀上了以撒。教会，有什么对你来说是不可能的呢？教会，在神凡事都能。靠着那加给我们⼒量的神，我们凡事都能做。愿你们都来仰 望主耶稣，并相信在祂⾥⾯⼀切的应许都 是“是”的和“阿们”的。我们有⼀位完全的神。在祂⾯前，你⼀切问题的⼤⼭都必消 化如蜡。阿们！

You may have heard the word today but it does not mean that it will profit you unless you mix it with faith. Many have heard the word but they doubt what was preached. How did you receive the word preached to you? Do you question what you hear and doubt His word and promises? Or are you like Sarah who started treading on the land by faith and chose to believe God even though her condition seemed impossible to conceive a child? She was past the age but God had restored her womb, and enabled her to conceive Isaac. Is there anything which seems impossible to you? Church, all things are possible in God. We can do all things through Him who gives us strength. May you all start looking to Jesus and believe that all the promises in Him are Yes and Amen. We have a perfect God. In the presence of the Lord, all your mountains will melt like wax on a hot day. Amen!

诗篇 18:29 我藉着祢冲⼊敌军，藉着我的神跳过强 垣。(现代标点和合本)
Psalm 18:29 For by You I can run against a troop, by my God I can leap over a wall. (NKJV)

在⾃然界中，当我们看到敌军（各样的挑战与问题）浩⼤的阵容时，我们会感到恐慌，我们的第⼀反应就是逃跑。但圣经说，在主耶稣⾥，我们可以逆袭。在主耶稣⾥，你不属⾃然界，⽽是⼀个超⾃然的存在。作为神的孩⼦，我 们可以说藉着祂，我们可以跨越⽣命中⼀切的考验和磨难。⽽且不仅如此，藉着神 的带领，我们得以跨越⽣命中⼀切的挑战。教会，我们可以跨越⽣命的试炼和磨 难。在神没有难成的事，在祂⼿⾥，没有什么是不可能的。也许你的害怕就是拦阻 神的祝福在你⽣命中显现的关键。然⽽，倘若你像约沙法⼀样，告诉⾃⼰，你定意来寻求耶和华，把⼀切忧虑卸给祂，因为你相信不是因为你爱祂，⽽是因为祂已经爱你，你就可以在⼀切问题上逆袭。神会帮助你胜过这⼀切。 你必如鹰展翅上腾。这听起来似乎不可能，看起来不可思议，但藉着神，万事都有可能。 然⽽，有⼀件事很重要。你需要神的话语为你灵魂的锚。⼈的话不能⻓久给你帮助。⼈的话不能常存，但神的话却永远⻓存在我们⽣命中。

In the natural, we would panic when we see a big troop in front of us, and our immediate reaction would be to run away from the troop. But the bible says that in Jesus, we can run against a troop. In Jesus, you are not a natural man but a supernatural being. As a child of God, we can say that by Him, we can run against all the obstacles that are against us. And not only run but by our God, we can leap over all the challenges in life. Church, we can leap and soar over all our trials and tribulations in life. Nothing is too hard for God. Nothing is impossible through God. Perhaps your fear may be the one thing which is blocking God’s blessing from manifesting in your life. However, if like Jehoshaphat, you tell yourself that you will set yourself to seek the Lord and to cast all your worries unto Him because you believe that it is not because you love Him but that He loves you, you can start running against all the problems in your life, and God will make you leap over them all. You are going to fly and soar like the eagle in the sky. It may not sound possible, it may not look possible, but through God, it is possible. However, there is one important thing. You need the word of God as an anchor for your soul. The words of man can never help you in your life. Man’s word is not enduring but the word of God is enduring forever and ever.

罗马书 1 0:17 可见信道是从听道来的，听道是从基督的话来的。(现代标点和合本)
Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (NKJV)

信⼼不是来⾃于你⾃⼰，⽽是当你听到基督的话时，信⼼就不⾃觉⽣出来了，所以把眼⽬从你们的问题上移开，转眼仰望祂。阿们！⽯头重，沙⼟沉，但圣经说，⼀颗劳苦重担的⼼⽐这两样更重。在这末后的⽇⼦，我们在⽣活中背负着许多重担，但今天，是时候来转眼仰望主耶稣，专⼀注视祂并宣告，在我们的⼀⽣中，祂都是信实的，如同撒拉，她始终相信应许她的那⼀位是信实的。 教会，想象⼀下这画⾯，当你问主耶稣如何加增你的信⼼，你看到祂对你说，当看向祂，即便像⼀粒芥菜种那样微⼩的信⼼也能改变你的⽣命。因此，不要再看向⾃⼰，⽽是仰望祂。看祂是如此完美。祂为你的过犯受害，为你的罪孽压伤。因祂受的刑罚你得平安，因祂受的鞭伤你得医治。因此，什么是信⼼呢？就是仰望主耶稣，祂将把你所有的重担都挪⾛。我们在⽣命中都需要⼀位神，⽽我们正服事⼀位慈爱的神，祂会在我们需要时作我们随时的帮助。阿们！

Faith does not come from you but faith comes when you hear the word of Christ, look away from your problems and look towards Him. Amen! The stone is heavy, so is sand but the bible says that a heavy heart is even heavier than them. In these last days, we carry many burdens in life but today, it is time to look only to Jesus and declare to Him that all our lives, He has been faithful, just like how Sarah judged Him faithful who had promised her. Church, picture yourself asking Jesus how you can increase your faith, and see Him telling you to look at Him, hear Him say that even faith as small as a mustard seed can transform your whole life. Hence, do not focus on self but look upon Him. See how perfect He is. He was wounded for your transgressions, crushed for your iniquities and by His stripes you are completely healed. Hence, what is faith? Just look to Jesus, and He will take away all your burdens. We all need a God in our lives and we happen to serve a loving God who will help us in our time of need. Amen!
